Ramona Spreading.

Owing to the unprecedented success
of the sale of lots in "Ramona" during
the past sixty days, aggregating some
four hundred, three hundred OF which
were sold last week; Mr.. Shorb, the
President oi the Winei Company, has
been induced to subdivide another por
tion of the tract, and the same will be
placed on the market soon. Quite q
large number of the original purchasers
have resold at handsome profit. 1t is
intimated that the Pullman Palace Car
Company in connection with the South
ern Pacific Company are contemplating
the erection of important improvements
on the forty.five acres recently purchased
by the latter company. 1t is also re-
ported that the Southern Pacific Com.
pany has already commenced grading
preparatory to building the extension
from Ramona to Pasadena, running close
to Raymond on the south side. The
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe also made
a survey some time ago for their main
line through the San Gabriel Valley,
crossing the Southern Pacific at Ra'
mona. These important improvements
and the desirableness of the location
will undoubtedly make this one of the
most attractive places tributary to the
city. Land that sold adjoining Ramona
three months ago for $500 to $500 per
acre has changed ihends at $3.50 per
acre. The pipe lines are being put in as
rapidly as possible, and quite number
of the purchasers are making prepare.
tions to erect some fine houses.

TransIatiOu of the Remains OF
Mrs. Thomas Gates.

Something over ten years ago Mr.,
Thomas Gates and his wife, d most
beautiful and amiable lady, born in this
city, went to Arizona, where in
o short time the angel of death visit.
ed the new household, and Mrs. Gates
left desolate the home she had SO en-
riched with her virtues and sweetness
of character. The bereaved husband
deposited the remains of his beloved
wife in the cemetery Of Tucson, intend
ing o. soon as he could to have them
exhumed and translated to the city in
which she had spent the happiest years
of her life. 1t was not until recently
that Mr.. Gates found it possible to carry
out his cherished determination. 1t is
we'll known that our old fellow.t towns.
man has for some time been the Super.
jntendent of the Territorial Prison of
Arizona, and during his term he has
carried on that institution in manner
that has given the greatest satisfaction
to the public, both in the economy Of
its management, the reform of its con.
duct, and the many improvements he
has instituted. Mr.. T.. w. Noyes has
lust received letter from Mr.. Gates
informing him that he will start in a
day or two for Los Angeles with the
remains. Due announcement will be
made of their arrival here, and of the
time when the obseqnies will take place,
SO that the many friends of the deceased
lady and her husband may assist at
them.
Mrs. Gates was born in Los Angeles
in about 1851. Her father Mr.. Prud-
homme, had long been q distinguished
citizen of Los Angeles. His daughter
received her education in the Sisters
school in this city, school always cele.
brated for its successful training OF
young ladies and imparting to them the
highest accomplishments. Miss Prud-
homme protited in q peculiar manner
from the advantages afforded by this ex.
cellont seat of education, for she was
noted rs one of the brightest of lite pu-
pills. As young lady she was exceed
ingly popular and universally beloved
on account of her sweet disposition and
nobleness of character, and when, at
length, she united herself with Mr..
Gates she became one of the shining
lights of Los Angeles society. All old
Los Angelehos will learn with satisfac'
ton that the remains of this lady, so be
loved and esteemed in life, are to be
soon translated to this city, and will moi
neglect to pay the last sad tribute of re-
spect in their power to her memory.

A meeting of the Summit Avenue Boule-
Vark and Park association was held at the
Ryan last evening, Capt. Simonton in the
chair. Mr.. Bushnell, of the committee on
streets and alleys, reported that the pulse

to Victoria streets and toward the liver
had been felt and that they favored a sys-
TEN of parks and boulevards. Judge Reed
said he had the names of most of
the property owners, as a starter.
in favor of the plan. Gen. An
dreWS, of the committee on legislation,
had consulted Mr. Loring about bridge
and he thought that substantial stone
bridge should be constructed across the
Mississippi at either Marshall or Summit
avenue. 1t would not cost over $500. 600.
and this would be very small amount for
both cities to contribute. The committee on
legislation was instructed to confer with
the Minneapolis authorities relative to
drafting bill for presentation to the legis-
lature. carrying out the plan. Col. Ham
Davidson spoke favorably of a system of
parks and OF state park in that vicinity;

spoke of the extent of parks in different
cities and thought if city was enterprising
it made the citizens enterprsing. He
thought all should help put the park COM

commerce Col. Davidson thought that if
st. Paul should have about hundred first
class funerals it would acquire 100, 900 pop

although he did not see how to go to work
inside the pale of the law to get the tuner
ais. After further discussion of the bridge
question the meeting adjourned until the
first Monday in February.
